As part of the recently approved MoU, the partnership will allow both organizations to openly collaborate and raise awareness about the value of continuing education and certification programs within their shared industries, the release stated.

"Partnering with the IEHA provides the Institute with an opportunity to engage a new audience and further our reach within the executive housekeeping community," said Tony Wheelwright, chairman of the IICRC.

"This collaboration will allow for both organizations to work together and implement innovative ideas for years to come," Wheelwright added.

According to the release, through the memorandum, the IICRC and IEHA will maintain a working relationship which will involve the exchange of industry knowledge between organization executives.
